Does anyone know what percentage of residential HD receivers the HD DVRs represent? This should be influencing the content schedules for HD channels. If most of the residential HD viewers are timeshifting, this should heavily impact the way content is presented.

The more I think about this, the more I like it. VOOM channels repeat their content pretty frequently. Offering it as VOD would allow the content to be available without repeating it 30 times a month. It could take up zero transponder space and still be available. What do others think?

Premier keeps getting additional costs. At what point is it too much? I was not happy when Premier didn't cover HD Access. If it now doesn't cover HD Extra, that is even worse. DirecTV, if you have a package that is promoted as covering everything, include everything. To some degree, I...

I love reading the boards, but I do get annoyed when half of the new threads are nothing but posts criticizing one or the other. Each piece of hardware has its cult of loyal believers. The likelihood of convincing others is not that great. The rest of us are more interested in other issues...

764-1 through 776-1 just appeared in my guide.

Will DirecTV ever get with the program and include the HD Pack with Premier? I appreciate them covering the DVR fee (until that goes away with the new offerings, hopefully) but I pay a mirror fee, too. Seems they'd be more appreciative of customers willing to pay the $93.99.

For those of you in the major urban areas, you may want to take a look at what happens outside the top 20 markets. The BestBuy here just started carrying the HD Tivo a few days after we found out that it would have to be replaced before those users could receive upcoming MPEG-4 channels...

I am getting HDNet content on the correct channel, but the PG says it's one of the satellite test channels.

I cancelled Voom on Aug 2. Voom has now charged my credit card on Aug 3 ($83.54) and Sep 2 ($68.80). There is a pending transaction for Oct 2 in the amount of $68.80. On Sep 23, a credit from voom posted in the amount of $68.80, the same amount as the Sep 2 charge. I have called in a...

This makes no sense to me. I brought it up at AVS, but someone decided to go completely off-topic thinking it was a discussion about whether I wanted to fill the screen or not. My concern is rather simple: by sending a 4:3 signal in a 16:9 format, it's like false advertising. Many of us...

I received a call about participating in a survey regarding my Voom service tonight. It was approximately 15 minutes of survey and they covered almost every possible complaint I have seen anyone have with Voom. From OTA reception to the value of HD Exclusives, it was all in there. I was...

It would be nice to have more videos on Rave Video Mix. Right now the Concerts are taking up to 22 hours per day. It would be cheap to intersperse a wider variety of videos, possibly in themed blocks. With DVR around the corner, it would make sense to have a 2-hour block devoted to pop...

Though the fish tank is interesting for about five minutes, I would like to see more compelling content on MooV. I was surprised to see movie trailers on MonstersHD when I first subscribed, but love the idea of seeing trailers in HD. What about a block of time for trailers? No commentary...

The new software update gave me a few new channels through OTA scanning. I have no PG info yet for these new channels, because they weren't in my map. Should the PG info show up soon or do I have to do something else? Moderator Note: Thread copied to the OTA Scanning thread.

As a former DTivo subscriber, I miss the DVR functionality. Particularly, I miss the dual tuner capability I had before. But more and more, I am noticing I miss the variety of programming on the other channels that is lacking on the VOOM Originals. I am hoping, more than anything, that the...

Today I saw a commercial for "Sky Captain" on MonstersHD. I don't remember ever having seen commercials on the Voom exclusives, save for their own content. Is this a recent development?

There are numerous areas of the country where there is no OTA HD signal for these networks. In my area (Greenville, NC), WB isn't even an OTA SD signal. It arrives only for those willing to pay for basic cable and then only in standard definition. HDNet will be showing some WB content, but...
